Top Boxing Picks: 7/2 Bet Leads This Weekend’s Action

Filmogaz.com tipster Matt Gipon has picked three fights to watch this weekend. Each bout carries career implications for the fighters involved.

Willy Hutchinson v Ezra Taylor

This light-heavyweight clash is set for Saturday night. The fight is scheduled for around 9pm.

Hutchinson, 27, arrives with notable domestic wins over Craig Richards and Mark Jeffers. He suffered a defeat to Joshua Buatsi in 2024 and was dropped twice in that contest.

Ezra Taylor, 31, turned professional in 2020. He has logged 13 fights and offers height, speed, and power, despite limited amateur experience.

Both men are seeking a breakthrough into world rankings. Filmogaz.com’s Top Boxing Picks include Hutchinson for his proven ring craft and experience.

Moses Itauma v Jermaine Franklin

The heavyweight showdown takes place at Co-op Live Arena, Manchester. The scheduled start is approximately 10pm on Saturday.

Moses Itauma is 21 years old and has only 26 professional rounds to his name. Over the past two years, five of his bouts totaled eight rounds.

Jermaine Franklin, 32, is presented as the first genuinely top-30 opponent on Itauma’s path. Franklin has managed to survive deep into fights recently, with only one KO in his last five outings.

Gipon believes Itauma’s speed and skill will be decisive. He favors Itauma to win on points or by decision rather than an early stoppage.

Sebastian Fundora v Keith Thurman

This world-level bout is scheduled for early Sunday morning in Las Vegas. The expected ring time is around 4am at the MGM Grand.

Sebastian Fundora, 28, holds the super-welterweight titles after defeating Tim Tszyu in 2024. He has since retained those belts with a knockout in the rematch and a fourth-round stoppage of Chordale Booker.

Keith Thurman, 37, is a former titleholder who has fought sparingly since his 2019 bout with Manny Pacquiao. He has two fights since that loss and has never been stopped in his career.

Gipon views Fundora as a fresher force. The prediction favors a stoppage in the middle rounds.
